Tornadoes

A number of climatic factors come together in the region known as Tornado Alley.

Warm moist air from the Gulf of Mexico moves over the region, carrying enormous amounts of energy to fuel thunderstorms. It can then collide with cool air from Canada (along a cold front) or dry air from the Rockies (along a dry line). This releases the energy carried by the warm, moist air producing thunderstorms that can become very strong. They can be especially violent where a dry line intersects a cold front. Additionally, Tornado Alley gets a lot of strong wind shear. This can intensify the storms even further and can also give the the rotation they need to produce tornadoes and generally speaking the stronger the storm, the stronger the tornado it can produce.

Worldwide the worst tornado of the 1980s was the Daulatpur-Saturia tornado of April 26, 1989. It tore through two cities in central Bangladesh, killing an estimated 1,300 people, making it the deadliest tornado ever recorded.

The deadliest tornado to hit the U.S. in the 1980s was the F4 Saragosa, Texas tornado of May 22, 1987, which killed 30 and injured more than 120. Honorable mentions include the F4 Huntsville, Alabama tornado of November 15, 1989 and the F5 Niles OH/Wheatland PA tornado of May 31, 1985.

Damage can range from Minor roof damage and broken tree limbs in a very weak tornado to the complete obliteration of well built structures. For more details see the link below.

no,unless you wanna rebuild half of a town

Yes. Hurricanes are common in the Caribbean and the Bahamas. Tornadoes are less common, but can be produced by hurricanes.

April-June is the best time to see a tornado, generally going north as the season progresses.

it can be anywhere. the conditions have to be just right. typically they form in supercells. usually they can be seen forming from wall clouds. this is usually the las sign you see before a tornado actually forms.

Find a ditch which most roads have on both sides, DO NOT GO FOR COVER UNDER AN OVERPASS. Contrary to popular belief overpasses are possibly the most dangerous spot because it acts like a wind tunnel and you could be pulled out as well as debris flying through. But the safest thing is to find the lowest point (ditch) get out of the car and lie down in it covering your head.

Most U.S. tornadoes occur in Tornado Alley, which stratches from Texas to Iowa.

A large tornado can easily by over a quarter of a mile wide. Some tornadoes are over a mile in diameter. A handful of tornadoes have been over 2 miles wide.

About 60 per year.

Most people are killed by debris carried by the wind or are crushed under falling objects and collapsing structures. Occasionally people may be picked up and thrown.

It is impossible to make such predictions.

there really online like wikipedia.com

There is some evidence that tornado frequency might be increasing but it is difficult to determine as with more advanced technology and greater knowledge of tornadoes we are now finding tornadoes that we would have previously missed.

No. You want to go down in your basement or somewhere there isn't any windows and strong walls

If you are in your home got to you basement or to an interior room on the lowest floor of you house. Leaved trailer homes for sturdier structures. If you are outside, seek shelter in the nearest sturdy building. If none is available, take cover in a ditch or depression as a last resort. If you are in a car and the tornado is distant, try to drive diagonal or at a right anlge to the path of it. If it is near, abandon the car and get in a ditch.

The affects of tornadoes in Texas are the same as they are elsewhere.

Homes and other buildings are damaged or destroyed, trees are damaged, snapped, or uprooted, crops are damaged, and people and animals are killed or injured.

The most frequently occurring ethical violations in finance relate to insider trading, stakeholder interest versus stockholder interest, investment management, and campaign financing.

People destroy some means of transportation as it would attract the attention of the media and the government, and thereby their grievance will get redressed. It is also used as pressure tactic

A blizzard is a storm that brings heavy snow fall that has winds that rarely exceed 60 mph or more miles per

A tornado has winds that can reach 200mph or more.

blizzards cause less destruction and a tornado can cause a lot of destruction

On average tornadoes kill more people than blizzards

So a tornado is stronger than a blizzard.

If you are on an upper floor leave it for a room in the basement or ground floor of the building.

Within an apartment the safest room would probably be a bathroom. Stay away from windows.

A monsoon is a seasonal type of storm experienced in some regions that often brings heavy rain and sometimes flooding.

A tornado is a violently rotating column of air extending from the base of a thunderstorm to the ground.

In terms of traveling speed tornadoes can be stationary or travel at over 70 mph.

The average forwards speed is 35 mph.

In terms of wind speed, winds in a tornado can travel at anywhere from 65 mph to over 300 mph.

The average tornado probably has winds in the range of 80 to 90 mph.

Tornadoes that cause the most serious damage have winds over 130 mph.

Tornadoes with winds over 200 mph are very rare.

Go to your basement immediately. Find a corner without windows, crouch down and over your head.

If you do not have a basement get to a room in the center part of your house on the lowest floor. A bathroom or closet is best.

Again, stay away from windows.
